New York Times Sunday Book Review Features HALF THE KINGDOM By Lore Segal

A New York Times Notable Book of 2013, and now available in paperback, HALF THE KINGDOM (Melville House) is renowned New Yorker writer and Pulitzer Prize finalist Lore Segal’s hilarious, poignant, and profoundly moving portrait of life today—where terrorist paranoia and end-of-the-world hysteria mask deeper fears of mortality; where parents and their grown children vacillate between frustration and tenderness; and where a broken medical system leads one character to quip, “Kafka wrote slice-of-life fiction.”

Praise for HALF THE KINGDOM:

“The novel’s comedy beats back the darkness.”
